Sport is an integral part of our society. Introducing team sports to our youth is important for their development as human beings. Children watch adults and use them as role models. Lots of people get paid to do things, but that does not relieve them of their other responsibilities in life. Professional athletes ARE role models. Michel Irvin wasn't a good one. Giving bad role models jobs as public figures, in my opinion is a really bad idea.
